Since these people resemble humans, I decided to call them ahmans, so naturally their planet is called Ahmantec. There are five species of ahmans on this planet.

This ahman is the help-mate and friend of Poppi of another ahman species.Poppi is Dobi's friend, had an child, now almost full grown, and much older than Dobi of the perops species, also works for the state government.Nanki, Poppi's offspring, who is at the school age of two.Alice Morgan, a human and another main character, who had been working on the Moon, transfers to MarsMajor Holbrook, who is in charge of the Mars Space station and the military within the station.Mike Carone, Chief Civil Engineer, who is in charge of labor and supplies.
